Hi Gustavo,

See my earlier message in this thread:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-December/msg06925.html

and see:

  http://www.linux1394.org/hcl.php?class_id=1

for a list of chipsets.  Card manufacturers (at least some, such as
Syba) will tell you which chipset they are using so that you have a
fairly certain way of determining whether they will work with Linux or
not.
